AUTOMATIC STOP.

Application filed. September a, 1919. Serial No. 322,180.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that we, GEORGE W. BEADLE and SA UEL KoHN, citizens of the United States, and residing, respectively, at Stamford, county of F airfield, and State of Connecticut, and city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Stops, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention which constitutes the subject matter of this application has to do.

with improvements in automatic stop mechanism especially designed for a talking machine, which ordinarily has arotating record support or member and a traveling member, as a sound-box and tone-arm, said rotating member and traveling member being relatively movable, the latter being commonly fed relatively to the former by the co-action of the needle of the sound-box with the record groove. This invention embodies improvements contained in our copending application Ser. No. 310,912, filed July 7,1919.

One of the most important features of our invention consists in improved mechanism whereby the actuation and the starting of the mechanism from and the stopping of the same at any position is controlled solely by the movement of the reproducer or traveling member. The construction is such that the machine will be automatically started when the operator places the reproducer and tone-arm in position to commence reproduction; will be automatically stopped when the reproducermember shall cease its advance movement across the face of the record, will remain at rest as the reproducer member is. being returned to the position of rest beyond the edge of the record; and will be automatically started when the reproducer member is moved from its position of rest to the position for commencing the reproduction of the record.

Another important feature of thisinvention consists in providing mechanism with improved means which will not onlyenable the starting of the mechanism automatically when the reproducer member is placed above the position to commence the playing of the record, but which will effectively prevent the mechanism controlled by the reproducer member from becoming operatively related to the automatic stop mechanism so long as of Fig. 1.

illustrated in a different the the reproducer member remains in this posit on irrespective of the number of revolutions of the rotating member made while in this POSlUOIL In other words the mechamsm controlled by the rotating and traveling member for actuating the stop mechanism lS-SO constructed as to become operatively related to said stop mechanism only after the traveling element has moved inwardly for a predetermined distance across the face of the record.

Stop mechanisms heretofore devised for accomplishing stated objects have been more or less complicated in construction. A still further feature of our invention therefore resides in the fact that we have not only made the device entirely automatic but reduced the number of parts, made it more positive in operation andcheapened its cost of manufacture. p 3

Further objects and advantages will appear from the detailed description below taken 111 connection with the accompanying drawing in which, Fig. 1 is a top plan of theinvention show- 111g its application to the motor board of a conventional form of talkingmachine, the parts being in normal or rest position with the reproducer sound-box beyond the edge of the record. l p

Figs. 8 to 12 inclusive illustrate detail elements. r

Referring tothe drawings in detail, the reference numeral 10 (see Fig. 3) designates the top of a conventional form of phonograph cabinet having a centrallylocated opening 11 to provide convenient access to the motor 12, and also to receive the elements which establish communication between the sound reproducing member and sound. amplifying instrumentalities. The openingll is closed by the hinged momounted on the motor board 13 by suitable, preferably concealed, screws 52 (see Fig. 7) and is provided with a skirt 53 having a circumferential slot 54: in the side facing); the record to permit the elements controlling the stop mechanism to project therefrom. One of the edges of this opening serves to maintain the end of a follower finger, to be described, within a limited distance of the lip or pusher surface 50 of the latch member. The member 2]. which preferably rotates about a vertical axis, as previously d scribed, is provided with a downwardly pro jecting sleeve 55, which is provided (see Figs. 7 and 8) with a plurality ot circumferentially disposed bayonet slots 56 and a vertically disposed key 57. An annular spring retaining member 58 having a plurality of inwardly projecting radial lugs 57 is adapted to lock with the sleeve the lugs 59 thereof engaging and locking; with the bayonet slots when in operative position as Will be readily understood. A plurality of superposed friction discs surround the sleeve and serve to operate the stop re leasing mechanism through the rotation ot' the traveling element. The upper one of these discs (see Fig. 9) designated by 60 has formed on its periphery a lung 61. adapted, when the tone-arm is brought to its initial position, to release the stop her and permit the turn-table to rotate, and is also provided with a notch or lreyway 61 engaged by the key 57 so that it rotates as a unit with. the sleeve 55. The inner periphery of the intermediate friction disc is cleared away at 64 so as to permit the follower finger 65 to remain unaffected by the movement of the key 57; that is to say. it enables said key to move back and forth therein. A third disc 66 is located below the intermediate disc. 63 and is provided with a keyway for the key 57 so that it also tates as a unit with the skirt The three friction discs are maintained in intimate contact with each other by a spring- 68 (see Fig. 7) having its lower end engaging; the annular spring retaining ring 58 and with its upper end bearing against the lower surface of the friction disc 66. The interme diate friction disc 63 has secured thereto preferably integral therewith the follower finger 65, the curved end of which is adapted to engage the dependingpusher surface 50 of the latch member 4:7. This disc 63 and finger 65 we shall hereinafter-refer to as the follower member. The specific mechanism just described for effecting a triotional engagement with the follower memher is merely the preferred form and it is therefore to be expressly understood that we do not confine ourselves thereto. The construction of this mechanism is more fully illustrated in our copending;- application above referred to,

o beer a ainst the stud The follower member, due to its frictional engagement with discs 60 and the traveling meniba-ir tee is the record, tends to rot the latch nieinier l in a clockwise direc .on causing tle surface til 0 the stop member 31. the latter is moved outwardly by the 08-11129 against the action of the sp as do onre for each complete rotation of said cam the ,lil cooperatingwith the cam sur *e 51, oscillates the lever in a c .iu.nter-cloch.\ise direction to a point where the latch 4:8 is out of the path ot the stud previously explained. This movement of the latch member in turn imparts a oorrespondi lv counter-clockwise movement to the 1? i member. its the bearing roller 30 moves from the high, towards the low point of the cam 29, thus of the stop n in point oi": TRnj specified. COHStlUCiIlOZl herein illustrated is such. that the movement oi the latch m mber it? by the follower incin l eli e 1 a constant of. .,;'emciit oi: the stud 29 from the high to the low point ot the cam surtacc 5111s the stop member 31 is moved inwardly under the tension of the springlVhen the travel'. element cc? es to feed across the record. ich will take 1 when the needle oi? the ton. n reach he last groove in the record obvioi the follower member, no lon he latch tR inwardly into the path 0'? the lup; thus enabl' the roller 30 to ride down the receding incline on the 529 until the stop member under 1 "t the spring" 33, has moved inwardly a icient di tance to actuate the slide 40 and brake member 36 and cause the 1?:

brake member rotation oil the niotr the ii .icr surt'ace oi the upstanding flange 48 oi the sliding: bar 40. The actuation by the cainmiiri, member 61 or" the pivoted cam 68. as the tone-arm is moved from its position of non-playing; or rest indicated in Fig. l to the po..- ion where the instrument starts to play the record, oscillates the lever 44 about its pivot 67 in a counter-cloclrwise direction, thereby moving the brake member 36 to release the motor. A spring 79 normally maintains the cam 68 in the position illus Tated in 1 and 2 so that the tone arm may be returned to its non-playing or normal position without actuating the lever 44. When it is desired to operate the talking machine without the automatic stop lllGCl'llllllSH'l, it is only necessary to move the lever 71 in a counter-clockwise direction about its pivot 72 to its other ontreme position. This disengages tie roller 30 from the cam 29 and hence the stop member 31 remains stationary during the rotation of the turn-table. When it is desired to operate the machine with the automatic stop mechanism functioning, the lever 71 is moved to the position illustrated in l. The spring 33 then retracts the stop member 31 so that the roller 30 engages the cam 29. This is merely the pre ferred form of construction for rendering the non-set stop device disorganized or inoperative, and it is therefore to be understood that we do not limit ourselves specifically thereto. l l hen the automatic stop mechanism is rendered inoperative the ma chine is controlled in the usual way by lever 73.

The point of the inclined portion of the cam 29 which strikes the roller 30 upon each rotation of too former is provided with a yielding surface 74 for cushioning thoimpact thereby avoiding a click that would occur in case of a metal-to-metal contact of cam 29 and roller 30.

The operation is as foll we :lhet it l e as sumed that the traveling member is carried beyond the edge of the turntable to the position of rest, as is the case when a record is to be changed or IQPlElTJGCl, as illustrated in Fig. 1. In this position of the sound reprodticer and its appurtenant elements, the lug 61 (see 1) is located in a counterclockwise position with respect to the cam member 68 on the end of the lever The follower finger of the follower member 63-65 in the supposed position bears against the edge of the circumferential slot 54 having been brought to this position by virtue of the frictional en agement of its disc with. discs 60 and 66, in the move ment of the sound reprodn er luiclrwardly over the face of the record. The relative position of the other elements will be apparent from a casual inspection of Figs. 1 and 2. As the traveling element is being brought to the position where the reproducer needle engages the record groove at t e beginning of the record, the lug 61 enthe cam 68 and oscillates the lever 44 against the tension of the spring This releases the brake pad 38 from the edge of the disc 39 and permits the latter to rotate.

limited by the engagement of the web 50 with the nose of the follower member. As

the traveling member feeds across the record, the lug 61 passes the cam 68 on the end of the lever 44 and permits the latter to take its normal position corresponding to its position shown in Fig. 1 and in which it is inoperative toretain the brake released. it will be seen however that before the lug 61 passes the cam 68 the operation of the follower member and latch member, though idle, is taking place, but these members only begin to function after the said cam 61 passes slightly beyond the dead center of said cam 68. Consequently there is no possibility at this time of the stop member functioning as such. since its first inward movemen is arrested or limited by the automatic positioning of the latch 48 behe lug 49 in the manner previously exd. This does not necessarily mean 1' that the first inward movement e stop lever is arrested by the latch mcn'iber it will be readily apparent, GGPGlMllDQ' upon the correlative position of he cam his 61 and cam wheel 29, that the o ll contact with the said cam advance of the engagement of with the latch 48. The point is t during the first few rotations of the record disc the stop member is held out of its opera 've position by the lever 44 and its co-operating cam lug 61, and that at any predetermined point thereafter this particular work of the lever 44 is effected by the follower member 6 -65 and the latch memher 4?. The rotation of the spindle and its pinion 26, during the reproduction of the record, causes a rotation of the gear 27 and its attached cam or eccentric 29. The rotation of the eccentric by engagement of its periphery with the rol er 30 on the stop member 31 causes the latter to oscillate. The outward oscillations of this member force the hook portion 48 of the latch member out of the path of the stud 49. Vlnle the tone-arm and its reproducer are feeding across the record, the follower fin er 65, by frictional engagement of its disc 63 with the other discs, engages with the surface 50 and tends to rotate the latch 47 in a clockwise direction. This alternate clockwise impulse imparted to the latch member maintains the engagement of cam surface 51 with the lug 49 on each inward oscillation of the stop member 31, thereby preventing the brake padsecured to the brake member from engaging the turn-table. lVhen, however, the tone-arm reaches the end of the record, the clockwise impulses of the 'l' llower member and or the latch member are discontinued, and the latch 48 secured to the end of the latch member and moved out or the path of the studs-.9 on the outward reciprocation ot the brake member, is not thereafter forced into the path of stud 4:9 on its in aid reciprocation, thus causing the brake pad attacheiil to-the arm 37 ot the brake member 36, under theintluence of the spring 83, to engage the disc 39 andDstop its rotation. l i henit is desired to either reproduce the same"record or toreproduce another record, the-traveling member is again swung'to its initial position be yond the edge oi the turntable, as illus trated in Fig. l, the 'i' ollower linger being prevented during this movement from following the traveling Tilt-BlillJBl beyond a predetermined point, by its engagement with the edge of the circumiterential slot 5% at the lower-end oi the time-arm. ll hen the rcproducer needle is placed on'the record the lug Gi again engages the arm (38 and releases the motor. permitting; a repetition of the operation above iilescril'ied. W hen the lever Tl is moved to'its'othcr extreme position from that illustrated in Fig. 1, its hooked inner end engages with the h1g4?) ai'id cams the stop memb'e. 31 in a counter-clipckwise direction about i met, thereby moving the end of the latter out of operative contact with the lip -i5 oi the member 4-0, thus rendering the automatic mechanism inoperative but enabling); treedom of action of the manual leverTZ} to operate the brake member-Q6.

The stop member 31 is shown herein as connected to the brake member 3 by'means of the slidable member 4:0. It may be stated, liovv'erer; for 1nanutacturing and other reasons, that this is'inerely the preferred term of construction and that we therefore do not limitoursel'vesto the-specilic connect-ion nor do we limit the invention to a brake member which. ene agesthe governor disc of the motor. 3

In a stop mechanism, the combination with two independently moving elements, of stop means and an actuating member therefor, means for imparting impulses in opposite directions to the actuating member, means rendered operative by the movement of one of the elements for limiting the impulses of the actuating member in one direction, and means associated with the actuating member for rendering the next-abovementioned means inoperative when the movement of the element ceases, thereby enabling the actuating member to continue its movement to effective stopping position to stop the movement of the other moving element.

38. In a brake mechanism, the combination with a traveling element, and a rotating element, of a brake element, an oscillating member operatively related to the brake element, means associated vwith the traveling element and rotating element for controlling the brake element, comprising mechanism for oscillating the oscillating member, and a latch actuated by the traveling element, to limit the movement of the oscillating member toward its operative position, the latch being rendered inoperative by the oscillation of the brake element in the opposite direction, to enable the oscillating member on its next oscillation to move the brake element to operative position.

89. In combination, a traveling element, a rotating element, a cam for actuating the rotating element, a brake-shoe adapted to stop the motor and to be moved to permit starting, a member cooperatively related to the brake-shoe member and adapted in one direction to move it to stopping position, and. in its other direction to release it, means adapted to automatically move the member to stopping position upon the stopping of the traveling element, eliminator means adapted to render the automatic means inoperative, and manually operating means adapted to actuate the brake-shoe independently of the automatic means.

40. In combination, a traveling element, a rotating element, a motor for actuating the rotating element, including a governor having a movable speed regulating part, a brakeshoe member adapted to engage this part to stop the motor and to be released therefrom to permit starting, an actuating member cooperative with relation to the brake-shoe member and adapted in one position to move it to starting position, and in its other position to release it, means adapted to automatically move the actuating member to stopping position upon the stopping of the traveling element, and eliminator means adapted to render the automatic means inoperative and permitting the manual. operation of the brake-shoe member.

41. In combination, a traveling element, a rotating element, a motor for actuating the rotating element, start and stop mechanism for the motor, a start and stop member cooperatively related thereto and adapted in one position to actuate it to stopping position, and in its other position to actuate it to starting position, and means adapted to automatically move the start and stop member to stopping position upon the stopping of the traveling element.

12. In combination, a traveling element, a rotating element, a motor for actuating the rotating element, start and stop mechanism for the motor, a start and stop member cooperatively related thereto and adapted in one position to actuate it to stopping position, and in its other position to actuate it to starting position, means adapted to automatically move the start and stop member to stopping position upon the stopping of the traveling element, and eliminator means adapted to render the automatic means inoperative.

4:3. In combination, atraveling element, a rotating element, a motor for actuating the rotating element, start and stop mechanism for the motor, a start and stop member cooperatively related thereto and adapted in one position to actuate it to stopping position, and in its other position to actuate it to starting position, means adapted to automatically move the start and stop member to stopping position upon the stopping of the traveling element, eliminator means adapted to render the automatic means inoperative, and manually operable means adapted to actuate the start and stop mecha nism independently of the automatic means.

44. In combination, a traveling element, a rotating element, a motor for actuating the rotating element, a brake-shoe adapted to stop the motor, a manually operable member adapted to operate the brake-shoe to starting and stopping position, yieldable contact-- ing means between the brake-shoe and the manually operable member to engage the parts with yielding pressure, and automatic means adapted to move the brake-shoe to stopping position upon stopping or the traveling element.

45. In combination, record rotating means,

sound ren'oducing means associated therewith, a pivoted stop member adapted to be actuated at the completion of the record, and means includinga positively acting latclimeclmnisni for preventing the operation of said stop member during the initial record playing period.
